Russia Launches Massive Attack In Northern Ukraine
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has cancelled foreign trips as a Russian offensive in north-east Ukraine intensifies.
Russian forces have recaptured the symbolically important village of Rabotino in Zaporozhye Region, the Defense Ministry reported on Wednesday.
The territorial gain was achieved through military action against the Ukrainian forces in the region, in which the adversary lost up to 25 troops and a US-made M777 howitzer, the ministry’s update on the Ukraine conflict said.
Ukraine has pulled back troops from some areas in the border region.
But the Ukrainian military insis… Read more
There are only two rational outcomes in this war, a Russian victory or a nuclear war. You can get to one of these outcomes today or ten years from now. It’s the same choice Ukranians had in 2014, 2022, today and ten years from now. Being a proxy for the west in a fight with your nuclear neighbor was never a good idea. Too bad the poor Ukranian people, not the corrupt elites, didnt have a democratic say in this.
Russia knows that nobody wins a nuclear war or they would have used their nukes already. If the Republicans hadn't folded to Putin, the battle would likely be a stalemate. And winning on the battlefield doesn't mean winning the war. Historically, occupying forces have rarely succeeded in the long run.
I am increasingly troubled by the U.S. response. We seem able to send bombs to Israel whenever we want, while waffling and delaying on Ukraine.
@KindSeafowlRepublican2wks2W
Not to mention we did not send what was needed in the beginning. Feeling like too little , too late.
@CakeSavannahPatriot2wks2W
I am confused. Biden said the weapons were all staged and ready to go into Ukraine.
What happened?
Also, I know we don’t support dictatorships, so when is the Ukraine election?
@D3baterPearRepublican2wks2W
Joe Biden must lift restrictions on the use of US weapons to attack military targets inside Russia. Facing a dysfunctional Congress holding military aid for so long, lifting restrictions would have allowed Ukraine to attack supply lines inside Russia.

Pro-Putin Slovakian Prime Minister Shot In Assassination Attempt
Slovakia's pro-Putin prime minister Robert Fico has been shot in the stomach in an assassination attempt.
The politician, 59, is now in a life-threatening condition in hospital after he was attacked leaving a government meeting.
Four shots were fired - with one hitting populist leader Fico in the abdomen in the town of Handlova, some 100 miles northeast of Bratislava.
After receiving treatment in Handlova, the PM has now been airlifted to a hospital in the capital as transport to the city would take "too long", a government spokesperson said.
The incident took place in front of the local House of Culture, where the PM had come to meet with supporters.
The suspected assassin was filmed being overpowered and detained by security forces and bystanders.
This comes only days after Fico formally & publicly rejected The WHO Global Pandemic Accord
@SeahorseBobbyPatriot2wks2W
This is EXACTLY as the leaked German government documents said things would go down when they came out late last year.
This is the leadup to World War 3.
World Hitman Organization
How can an individual wielding a firearm breach the security perimeter and approach a leader of a country in contemporary times? This undoubtedly indicates a significant lapse in security protocols.
Fico's opponents have labeled him a "Putin ally."
He is accused of leading a "pro-Russia" coalition in Europe, together with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
Fico has promoted a "sovereign Slovak foreign policy" and refuses to provide military aid to Ukraine.
@MusselTaylorLibertarian2wks2W
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out Ukraine was behind this.
Or other globalists who didn’t like how PM Fico was against open borders.
Things are starting to get very messy now.
Glad that it appears FICO will be OK.
@L3gislatorJimmyGreen2wks2W
Yea, this reeks of a CIA op. It will be interesting to see what happens at the hospital.
@LeftLaneAvaNo Labels2wks2W
During Covid Slovakia was insane, I was there. Full nazi lockdowns vaccine police state.
The Government changed and swung back to sanity under Fico.
Fico rejected the WHO global pandemic accord.
Fico was also anti Ukraine war calling for peace.
The enemies of truth no longer hide their intentions.
They have abandoned the shadows for force.
People do not seem to realize that this is a global move. The UN has been talking about moving to a one world government for a long time. The US is signed on. And there are certain things that you need to have absolute iron control over in order to control the population of the world. Healthcare is one of them. they done pretty damn good with media control.

Netanyahu says Israel isn't a "vassal state" of the U.S.
A day after President Biden warned Israel that a major attack on Rafah would cross a "red line" for U.S. support, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went on a rant during a meeting with his security cabinet.
"We are not a vassal state of the United States!" he declared, according to three people with knowledge of his remarks, including one of Netanyahu's aides.
Netanyahu's hot reaction last Thursday reflected his combative mood at a time when Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza has strained its relationship with the U.S.
The tension began escalating two… Read more

Tell me, this fiscal year alone, the U.S. has approved $20.8 Billion in military aid for Israel.
You’re “independent” now?
So, tell me Bibi, when do we get our money back?
@Lobby1stJerryNo Labels2wks2W
Bibi needs to be reminded nothing in life is free. A concept he seems unfamiliar with in his personal & professional life.
Fine Bibi, we can save some money and send it to Ukraine instead.
Then give us back the money and weapons. And shoot down the Iranian missiles on your own.
Ungrateful brats.

U.S. Drug Overdose Deaths Decline For First Time In Decade
The U.S. saw a slight decline in the number of new overdose deaths last year, marking a rare improvement in a still-raging national fentanyl crisis, preliminary federal data show.
There were about 107,500 overdose deaths in 2023, down 3% from the year before and the first decline in five years, according to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. One factor was fewer deaths pegged to opioids including the nation’s deadliest drug, the potent synthetic fentanyl, the CDC’s preliminary numbers show.
The U.S. has struggled to stop a relentless increase in drug-ov… Read more
I could care less about the death rates for drug addicts (its always been high) but I do care about the crushing blow such deaths must bring to the families. When they dig us up they will ask why did our families fell apart, why the deep division in our nation, why the abandonment of religion and how could drugs become a leading cause of death among the young. I will leave the answers to those questions for future generations. We seem impervious to any true reckoning much less remediation.
@ExecutiveFaithForward2wks2W
"I could care less about the death rates for human beings, yet I cite religion as one of my core values"Just wait until that happens to a member of your family when you least expect it... you reap what you sow.
Are we sure, DC just didn't change the way, they are counted? A dead person with a needle sticking out of his arm, but with high cholesterol, might now be a heart disease death.
They did it with Covid and crime stats, why not drug deaths?
@QuokkaHankNo Labels2wks2W
The US lost about 400,000 people in WWII, in 3 years and 8 months of fighting. A bit over 100,000 per year.
Biden's open borders, his partnership with China, his partnership with the Drug Cartels that control the border -- has Killed more Americans than the Empire of Japan and The Third Reich combined.
So go re watch Saving Private Ryan, and remember: the Democrats did more harm to Americans, and they are still doing it today and tomorrow.
I'd like to see the number of Fentanyl OD's saved by Narcan. That's the reason OD deaths seem to have dropped. Still too many OD's but less deaths. We have to address the drug problem totally.

RFK Jr.’s Threat to Trump
November’s election may be decided by whose definition of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. voters find most persuasive.
No one really knows which of his rivals Mr. Kennedy’s candidacy will hurt more. Mr. Biden sees Mr. Kennedy as possibly reprising the role played by the Green Party’s Jill Stein in 2016. Her vote totals were slim—in Pennsylvania she received 0.82%, in Michigan 1.07%, in Wisconsin 1.04%—but had her votes gone instead to Hillary Clinton, Mr. Trump wouldn’t have been president.
With Mr. Kennedy polling today in the low double digits, Mr. Biden is taking… Read more
I disagree. This is not 1992 when Perot definitely took votes from Bush. RFK Jr. is very, very liberal and his position on gun control and the environment (although he has tacked right on that recently) will not go over well with R voters IMO.
@TwoPartyBertLibertarian2wks2W
If RFK Junior is so unimportant to the outcome of the election, why have the Democrats pulled so many strings to keep him off Blue state ballots?
I don’t like Trump. I don’t like Biden more.
I wont be wasting my vote on RFK.
@RightW1ngCatRepublican2wks2W
I don't like Trump much either but I love this country. I find nothing to like about Biden but he's an empty sock puppet so my feelings stem from not liking his handlers.
So loving this country, I will vote for Trump. Anything else is to invite our enemies abroad and here to inflict further wounds on this country.
@IamSirius32Green 2wks2W
I hate Trump. I don't really like Biden but I like him more than the other too. RFK is crazy. He needs to learn from his uncle. So I'm voting Biden or Stein.

Biden Offers To Debate Trump In June Without RFK Jr.
President Biden is willing to debate former President Donald J. Trump at least twice before the election, and as early as June.
Mr. Biden and his top aides want the debates to start much sooner than the dates proposed by the Commission on Presidential Debates, so voters can see the two candidates side by side well before early voting begins in September.
They want the debate to occur inside a TV studio, with microphones that automatically cut off when a speaker’s time limit elapses. And they want it to be just the two candidates and the moderator — without the raucous in-person aud… Read more
Basically they want no debates
No, basically they want them to be actual debates, not uncontrolled Trump rants.
@SimilarBaboonRepublican2wks2W
Not really, the main criteria are no audience, mic cutting off after time and the moderator has to be from one of the major broadcast networks. Not sure how that equals wanting no debates.
@PlatypusEdLibertarian2wks2W
So Biden wants 2 debates instead of the traditional 3 and also wants them much earlier, which makes them less impactful? It's consistent with his strategic incentives, which are that he can't be seen as ducking debates but he's not particularly confident he'll win.
@P4rtyLapwingPatriot2wks2W
Trump responds:
“I'm ready to go…The dates that they proposed are fine…Let's see if Joe can make it to the stand-up podium.”
"The proposed June and early September dates are fully acceptable to me. I will provide my own transportation."
@FerventDem0cr4tPatriot2wks2W
Oh when they tried preventing Trump from speaking about the laptop?

$320M US military Gaza Aid pier to open for business
A trident pier the length of five football fields is being anchored to the Gaza coast. Humanitarian aid will be dropped off there via ships from the floating pier, also built by the U.S. military, two miles off the coast. According to the Pentagon, two Navy warships will be protecting the floating pier and the sea bound transfer of the aid.
Some 1,000 U.S. service members are engaged in the project, which is costing an estimated $320 million for the first three months. U.S. personnel are not supposed to be going "on the ground" in Gaza at any time.
The military will be working with… Read more

I’m guessing the plan, if there is one, is drop off a few 100 thousand inflatable lifeboats off and send the population off to die at sea or end up at some concentration/“refugee” camps in Europe/Africa. Or maybe just have people hope that’s the plan, while they keep killing.
